Mt. Oyama is located in the city of Isehara of Kanagawa Prefecture and is easily accessible from Tokyo on the Odakyu Line or via the Tomei Expressway. There is a promenade lined with shops and restaurants between the tourist information center and the trailhead at the base of the mountain. At the end of the promenade, you will find the trailhead and the cable car station that first stops at Oyama-dera Temple, and then continues where it terminates at Oyama Afuri Shrine Shimosha. Whether you visit Mt. Oyama for sightseeing or for mountain climbing, I highly recommend that you first visit the information center near the bus stop/parking lot closest to the trailhead. The center offers free foreign-language pamphlets that provide detailed histories of each attraction and useful maps on how to access all that Mt. Oyama has to offer including other attractions that are nearby. I am not an experienced hiker, so I took my time, took many breaks, and did my best to avoid having a heatstroke as the sun quickly rose causing temperatures to soar. On my way down, I came across small children and elderly people climbing well after temperatures had risen, so the climb is doable for beginners if you are prepared with proper footwear and water. Upon reaching the top, you can visit the primary shrine, Oyama Afuri Shrine Honsha, which houses the deity of the mountain. However, do not expect to see another grand shrine like that of the lower/sub-shrine, Oyama Afuri Shrine Shimosha. The upper shrine is the ultimate goal for a proper pilgrimage. The lower shrine is also important for a pilgrimage, but has more of a tourist site type of vibe. Views from the peak are beautiful and depending on the weather and time of year, epic views of Mt. Fuji to the west and Shonan Bay to the east are easily visible. However, bear in mind that climbing almost any mountain near Tokyo in August will almost always be a slight disappointment since the the snowcap on Mt. Fuji will have melted leaving with a dark, barren peak. The horizon will also be obscured by a milky haze that washes out all details of distant shores and mountain ridges. Sunrises are also washed out a bit, making it impossible to find light directly striking any nearby peaks or objects in...
